well it can take up to 6wks to see gains,have you not seen any gain in strength?how is your diet and training.what are your stats?

**Nitro29** · 10-21-2008, 08:06 AM

more time

Definitely takes more time to kick in also you need to get crazy in your workouts and stop worrying about the gear being fake.

If this is your first cycle, and im guessing it is, you might not be all too sure what to look for. Many people assume the changes will be drastic in how steroids affect your training. From my experience that isnt the case. You should be putting on water weight at least by this point if not from increased calories. My advice to you is eat a lot and make sure training and rest is consistent and you will be successful.

week 3 on a long ester like test E? will probably be another 3 weeks before you start peaking out bro...

Jiggaman is correct (as usual) in that you should at least be experiencing some bloat and might I add increased labido by now or very, very soon...nitro

shoot I saw libido increase a couple of days after my first shot about 7 year ago lol

**umair555** · 10-21-2008, 10:49 AM

yea libido is increased....i hope it kicks in soon

**Nitro29** · 10-21-2008, 11:41 AM

Well then you know your gear good. Man it just takes awhile, another reason I'm not a big fan of long esters, but if this your first cycle thats good.

When it does kick in (you may still be looking at a couple of weeks) you will know it, trust me.

You say you've just had your 5th shot. Are you shooting up 250mg twice weekly, or 500mg once a week??? - Reason I'm asking is, depending on which, it means your either 2 1/2 weeks into your cycle or 5 weeks in, and this makes a big difference cause if your already 5 weeks in you should definately be feeling the gear, and putting on notable weight if all other components are in order, i.e. Training, Diet, and rest.

**GrandmasterSpank** · 10-21-2008, 01:26 PM

If of course your only 2 1/2 weeks into cycle though, it is still early-ish days, and I would give it a little longer, don't worry!

with increased calories you should be gaining weight regaurdless. Putting your body in a calorie surplus = gaining weight, regaurdless of gear.

My jaw is constantly moving as there is always food in it. I get made fun of because I eat so god damn much (clean) food, it is a chore but no one said this would be a cake walk.

good luck
